Olimpia Milano of the Italian League wants to keep MarShon Brooks, according to Sportando.

Brooks signed with the team in 2014 and has been drawing interest from several European teams, but Olimpia Milano wants to keep him for the 2015-16 season. While Brooks is averaging 15 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2 assists per game in Serie A, his NBA days seem like a thing of the past so fantasy owners can feel free to erase Brooks from their memory banks.

Free agent G/F MarShon Brooks signed with the Italian team Olimpia Milano this week.

Brooks barely played last season before joining the Lakers, with whom he averaged 6.4 points in 13 minutes per game, and that wasn't enough to earn him a guaranteed NBA contract this summer. This may not be the final chapter in his NBA career but fantasy owners can safely dismiss him. Sun, Aug 10, 2014 05:58:00 PM

Free agent MarShon Brooks is finalizing a contract with the Italian team Olimpia Milano Armani.

The Pacers were among the teams to show some interest in Brooks as a free agent, and he played for the Kings' Summer League team in Las Vegas, but now he'll earn his money by heading overseas. Wed, Aug 6, 2014 09:12:00 AM

The Pacers have MarShon Brooks on their "short list" of players to support their wing rotation in the wake of Paul George's devastating injury.

Brooks played for the Kings' Summer League team in Las Vegas this summer, where he averaged 10.6 points on 53.1 percent shooting. He hasn't done much beyond scoring the ball at the NBA level, peaking at 12.6 points per game as a rookie, but could make sense for Indiana on a minimum-salary deal. Sun, Aug 3, 2014 03:09:00 PM

The Lakers have informed Dwight Buycks of their interest in him for next season, a source told David Pick of Basketball Insiders.

It's not clear if it would be a summer league deal, a non-guaranteed deal or something greater, but the Lakers have bigger fish to fry than Buycks unless it's a training camp invite with little to no guarantees.

"With his tenaciousness, the way he guards people and when his mind is set, if I say ‘Kobe, you’ve got him,’ he takes that as a challenge," coach Byron Scott said. "You know how he is. He’ll compete." A lot of teams are using small power forwards now, so this really isn't a stretch. The Lakers aren't going to make him a four against someone like Zach Randolph. The Black Mamba is a risky target in the middle rounds.

Jabari Brown scored 20 points off the bench in Monday's preseason loss to the Knicks, hitting 5-of-14 shots (2-of-7 from deep, 8-of-11 from the line) with one rebound, zero assists and three steals in 27 minutes.

Brown led the D-League in scoring last season so there aren't a lot of surprises with this performance. It's unclear if he'll have a rotation slot heading into this season.

Julius Randle scored 17 points with four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes against the Mavs on Wednesday.

After the game, Randle said the summer league minutes restriction is frustrating and he's just focusing on keeping everything in perspective. As for his performance today, he looked like the player the Lakers wanted him to be. Randle wasn't forcing the contact quite so much today and he seemed to know where the double teams were going to come from. He also did more ball handling today on the offensive end.
